Anew paper published on June 18 2025 in Science Advances, confirmed that the human footprints found in White Sands, New Mexico, US are indeed 23,000 years old (see my post of Sep. 2021 on these ancient footprints)
The tracks are pictured above
The authors of the original study were confronted by skeptical scholars who were not convinced by the early date, so the same team conducted additional research and dated pollen from the layers where the footprints were found. They confirmed their original dates and published their findings in 2023. Skeptics remained unconvinced so one of the co-authors, who also wrote the original paper went ahead and did a third study. Which ratified the very early dates.
